Hart of Dixie

There will be, we are promised in the episode description, quite the important scene tonight between Zoe and George. And, more importantly, during this pivotal scene, Scotty McCreery will be performing. We don't know if that means that they'll be at a club during the scene or if they'll be dreaming McCreery is performing or what, we just know that McCreery performs. And, we're not sure much else matters, any excuse to have Scotty McCreery perform is all we need. It should be all you need too.

Past Events

We know it's not right, but every time we say the name of this series, we attempt to do some sort of insane "Deep in the Heart of Texas" and "Dixie" mash-up. It would be awesome if we were remotely good and mashing things up (save potatoes which we do delectably) and/or singing. But, we're not, so it's somethign of a disaster. What we hope won't be a disaster however (great transition, right?) is the move of Rachel Bilson's "Hart of Dixie" from Mondays at 8:00pm to Fridays at 9:00pm. Sure, that's a move from the first thing The CW airs every week to the last, but we don't know if that means anything. You tell us.

Rachel Bilson's Zoe Hart, as you well know, practices in lovely BlueBell, Alabama. It is a small town, and it has a lot of those charming small town quirks. Is it a fish out of water story? Maybe, in part, but it's more than that isn't it? Zoe Hart has been there in BlueBell now for something more than two years (this is season three, after all), and even if she isn't quite one of them, she's getting close. Expect big dramatic things to happen on tonight's episode as this is the winter finale. As of our writing, the show isn't scheduled to return until the second half of March.

Tonight, sadly, is the last new episode of "Hart of Dixie" that we're going to get for a while. How long, you wisely ask? Quite honestly, we don't know, but we're just not sure that there's going to be another new episode before January. Oh, there might be, they might sneak in a Christmas episode at some point, but this is being billed as the fall finale, which means that they might not sneak another one in. Time will tell, and when time does, we'll tell you.

If you don't watch "Hart of Dixie" on a regular basis, you may not know that there's a place on the show called the "Rammer Jammer." Oh yeah, the Rammer Jammer. If that was the only thing "Hart of Dixie" had to offer, the Rammer Jammer, it may very well still be worth watching. But, in fact, "Hart of Dixie" offers so much more, it has this whole small town charm thing going, it has Rachel Bilson doing a doctor fish out of water thing. Here is what we think -- tune in to the season premiere and see what you think.

We don't know. We just don't know. Last week's episode of "Hart of Dixie" was called 'I'm Moving On,' this week's episode is called 'On the Road Again.' So, let us ask you, is Zoe Hart leaving BlueBell, Alabama? Is this the end of "Hart of Dixie," will Hart be out of Dixie come the fall? There are questions that will only be answered by watching tonight's second season finale and some of the questions that might be answered potentially include those above. Of course, the show getting renewed for a third season kind of does answer these questions, but we're going to pretend like we don't know about said renewal.

When Lavon's plans of making BlueBell a Spring Break destination are put in jeopardy by a rival town, he creates a competition to attract more attention; Zoe agrees to try partying with Jonah; Wade and Lemon decide to compete together.

Zoe tries to keep her feelings for Wade under control; Lavon and Wade are forced to work together for a church fundraiser; Brick and Shely's relationship pushes Lemon to try and sabotage things between them with George's help.

It has been more than a month since the last new episode of "Hart of Dixie," and that is entirely too long... entirely too long. Life without Rachel Bilson's Zoe Hart is not a life we (necessarily) want to have to live. But, for at least a few weeks, that is not a world we're going to have to face. Zoe Hart returns tonight with all her new found Dixie glory. Or, something like that. Quite honestly, it matters slightly less to use what Hart returns with provided that she returns. And, return she does. Tonight.

Zoe gets jealous when she sees Wade with another woman and decides to set up a date with Ruby's cousin; Lavon reluctantly allows Lemon to be his campaign manager; Brick and Magnolia struggle with chores and try to get Lemon to move back.

Zoe invites a reporter to BlueBell for an interview when she sees that she has been listed as "retired" in an alumni magazine; George informs Lemon that he is going on a date; Lemon and Lavon are in competition with their nemesis Ruby.

The CW describes show by calling it a 'fish-out-of-water comedic drama' and while that's true, we like to think of as 'that Rachel Bilson show on The CW., the one where she's the doctor.' Yeah, there's probably a reason why the folks at The CW opted for their language and not ours. It isn't that ours is untrue, it's totally true, it's just that there's is moderately more colorful. So, whether you prefer our explanation or there's, do make sure you tune in tonight as the new season begins.

Zoe's hopes of moving to Bluebell are dashed when she crashes the float during Founder's Day Parade; George tells Zoe she must bring in more business to the medical practice or Dr. Breeland could buy out her half of the business.

Let us ask you this -- what is the heart of the "Hart of Dixie?" We know the Hart of Dixie and the "Hart of Dixie," but what is the heart of it all? We think that quite likely it's Rachel Bilson as Rachel Bilson stars as Zoe Hart who is the Hart of Dixie in "Hart of Dixie." Or, perhaps it could be that the heart of the "Hart of Dixie" resides elsewhere, but we don't think so. Tune in tonight, it's the first season finale and it ought to be a rather emotional undertaking, and see for yourself where exactly the heart of "Hart" lies.

You want a great reason to watch "Hart of Dixie?" Try Rachel Bilson, she's a great reason to watch. Want a reason to watch this specific episode outside of Bilson's presence? How about the fact that, after an extensive hiatus (the last new episode aired the first week in December), the show is coming back tonight. If you've opted not to watch the "Hart of Dixie" repeats, then you may have found yourself forgetting all about the series and what is has to offer. Well, now is the time to get back into the swing of things and head back down south for a little bit of country charm and some good doctoring... and Rachel Bilson.

There are, people will tell you, many reasons to watch "Hart of Dixie." For instance, there's Rachel Bilson (people like Rachel Bilson). There's also Cress Williams (whom people, too, quite enjoy). This week has an added reason to watch, and that's NASCAR's Brian Vickers. Vickers will be playing NASCAR's Brian Vickers which isn't all that much of a stretch as Vickers is Vickers to begin with, but we do hope to see a little bit more of him than that. We hope he's going to give a horrible explanation for why he can't host the turtle race which is why he's supposed to be in town in the first place (horrible explanations being more fun).
